And me shall{ e} not cesse fro such{ e} settyng of fig{ ur}es forward{ e}, nether of settyng{ e} of þe quocient into the dyviser, neþ{ er} of subt{ ra}ccio{ u}n of the dyvyser, till{ e} the first of the dyvyser be w{ i}t{ h}-draw fro þe first to be divided{ e}.

And yf þ{ o}u wilt wete how many vnytees of þe divisio{ u}n [*Fol. 53^3.] wol growe to the nombre of the diviser{ e}, the nombre quocient wol shewe it: and whan such{ e} divisio{ u}n is made, and þ{ o}u lust p{ ro}ve yf thow have wele done or no, Multiplie the quocient by the diviser, And the same fig{ ur}es wolle come ayene that thow haddest bifore and none other. And yf ought be residue, than w{ i}t{ h} addicio{ u}n therof shall{ e} come the same figures: And so multiplicacio{ u}n p{ ro}vith{ e} divisio{ u}n, and dyvisio{ u}n multiplicacio{ u}n: as thus, yf multiplicacio{ u}n be made, divide it by the multipliant, and the nombre quocient wol shewe the nombre that was to be multiplied{ e}, { et}c.
